Earlier this month, Salvatore Ferragamo staged its pre-fall collection—the house’s first-ever—in the Royal Hall of the Milano Centrale railway station, which was fitting because the muse was a woman traveling, ready for a journey, according to creative director Massimiliano Giornetti. This week, that collection was shown in New York at Ferragamo’s showroom, and while stripped of a travel backdrop, it was still clear the Salvatore Ferragamo woman was going somewhere and that she was loaded—and not with luggage.
